Had a great tour with Thalia! She kept our group together and well informed on where to go and how to get there from the Ferry to Liberty Island! She shared a wealth of information about the island and the Statue itself - which was very interesting! Highly recommend this tour!

Ryan made our experience fantastic from start to finish. We have traveled all over the world and it is very easy to say that Ryan was THE BEST guide we have ever had . He is very smart, knowledgeable, personable and just really extraordinary. He made the whole group feels comfortable and wow we learned a lot about the status of Liberty . We laughed , learned and had a lot of fun. Our 8 years son was included in everything, Thanks to Ryan , the tour was a little lengthy for him but Ryan challenged him to be interested all the time. Thank you Ryan.

Amazing morning with Walks and a great guide Jacob, who was making his job with a true passion and mix loads of historical information with great jokes. Somehow he managed to give a lot of attention to every member of his group. I truly recommend you to have a ride to Ellis Island with "Take Walks" - for sure you will enjoy the story and experience.

Our guides work so hard to make sure that everyone in the group has a fantastic time and I am glad it shows! We hope your time in Italy was wonderful and that you will have the opportunity to join us again, perhaps in other locations soon! The Walks Team
